While much attention goes into the design of software products,
when it comes to commercial software sold to businesses, it is often the
installer that receives the least amount of attention when in comparison
to the impact that the component has on the customer. The customer is
not only the end-user that considers your application to be their
personal “mission critical app“.

Merge modules are the Windows Installer standard for reusable
setup logic and resources. Development teams can build and distribute
MSM files that include installer components and
functionality shared between applications.

You might think that the users downloading your
application also install it. That is not true. If you
want to see how many users install your application successfully you
need to track the application, in this case its setup
package.

You know everything your user does on your website from the
moment he loads the first page until he downloads a trial version of
your application. But you don't understand why so few users buy your
